Whau Local Board

Advance the Te Whau Walkway project.

Identify and fight Auckland Transport for more protected cycleways to improve links from the suburbs to the town centres and public transport.

Make e-bikes and new forms of electric mobility equitable and accessible.

Improve road safety and congestion, disability accessibility, and environmental sustainability by developing public transport and cycleways.

Ensure there are safer footpaths and more pedestrian crossings, particularly in areas most affecting seniors.

Ensure Whau residents are given a real choice to use their preferred form of transport – cars, bikes, public transport, or walking.

Set up more feeder routes. Open a new bus route to the airport.

Increase the fine for distracted drivers. Harsh punishment for drink-drivers.

Really push to see the Whau Pathway completed to encourage more Whau whānau walking and cycling.

Push to improve public transport and frequent services, and fully sheltered bus stops.

Work to have a Bike Kitchen in all our communities that encourage community participation and learning and get people cycling locally.

Use the shuttle bus for low density area.

Use check-in smart system for bus stops, so the bus driver know how many people wait for bus and decide the fast path.

Build more bus stops to encourage people use public transport.

Provide "Whau safe zones" around local schools for students to walk and cycle to school. Provide alternative cycle and walking routes.

Replace unused berms with parking bays around apartments and townhouses. Put in cycle ways to replace the grass berms.

Maintain roads and footpaths regularly to ensure safety.

Urge the rapid expansion of electric bus services and charging stations for electric cars.

Advocate for feeder bus routes, increase frequency and connect to arterials and hubs, eg New Lynn to help more patrons take public transport.

Advocate for speed bumps using recycled materials in streets that face racing car issues, saving money and rate payers get value plus results.

Encourage cycling and e-scooter use to reduce short distance travels via cars (which causes the largest chunk of vehicle emissions based on data).

Build sensible and cost effective walking and cycling connections; people who can't drive still need to be able to get around safely.
